Empty tokens don't get replaced in welcome emails [#1300298]

You can use tokens in the welcome emails available at admin/config/people/accounts/settings

Hoewever, when a token is empty it will be rendered as the actual token replacement string in the email.

For example:

Dear [user:field_firstname] [user:field_preposition] [user:field_lastname],

becomes this in the email:

Dear John [user:field_preposition] Doe,

This is because user.module does not use the "clear" option for the token_replace function as described here:
http://drupal.org/node/1272028

The patch attached adds this option to the function in user.module.

Version:	7.8	» 8.x-dev
Issue tags:		+token

Bugs have to be fixed in 8.x first, then backported to 7.x. I approve of this change, we just need a patch rolled with the correct format.

Comment says not to sanitize, but your code has 'sanitize' => TRUE, used to be FALSE, why the need to change it?

Does this need to be tested? I need this since I just discovered this problem and need to send a whole slew of emails to users who are about to be activated. I am rather hesitant to apply a patch to a core module on my site....
